SIP the Bay 2 Virtual Music & Sailing Fest
September 4, 2020 @ 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM PDT

Bay Station’s second, virtual version of its biannual Love the Bay Music & Sailing tour around the San Francisco Bay kicks off Friday with a great crew of Bay Area artists. A four-day, virtual mini-music festival streaming live on Youtube, “SIP the Bay 2”, September 4-7 will celebrate local talent working in genres from jazz to folk, ambient electronica to pop rock. The series will raise funds for both the NAACP and California Fire relief efforts.
Partially filmed aboard the folk boat Espresso while under sail and presenting performances by a whole new crew of Bay Area songwriters according to Bay Station’s usual ports of call, it approximates the pre-pandemic Love the Bay Tour experience.
